7 Things You Must Establish Before Buying Land

 

It is no longer a secret that land buying and selling business in Kenya is full of conmen and cartels – or whatever name you want to call them.

Always often or not, you will hear people complaining that they have been conned, or cases of people lamenting how they paid for a non-existent piece of land.

As much as conmanship is there, and you’re likely to encounter such people out to take advantage of others, there are some basic things you can do to help reduce the risk of losing your hard-earned money/savings to cons.


Here are 7 things you must establish before buying land – in any part of Kenya;

-      Always be sure that the land you’re about to buy actually exists. This is by making a physical visit to where it is. Never be satisfied with photos.

-      Find out what is planted in the land – especially if you’re looking for agricultural land.

-      Be sure to positively know that the person selling you land is the real owner. To know this, do a land search and also ask around neighbors or local chief/village elders.

-      Only buy that piece of land once you confirm it has not been used as a guarantee for a yet to be finished bank loan – unless you want to lose it out to that bank in future

-      Confirm that the land has no unresolved dispute

-      Always carry our due diligence before agreeing to the sale agreement terms – that is paying any money and signing any documents.

-      To be on the safe side, engage a lawyer to help you in the transactions

Finally, if by any chance during the process of acquiring and you come across a fake document like title deed, report to the nearest police station where you will be advised on where to take the documents for examination.
